TM-50 Trickle Impregnating Machine

Suitable for applying coatings and resins to small motor armatures and related components.

The operator only needs to load and unload parts, as the machine is fully automated and managed by a programmable logic controller (PLC) capable of storing multiple programs.

Machine status and setup details are shown on a terminal, with program changes made easily through menu-driven prompts.

The Broomfield TM-50 trickle impregnation machine features a rotary table with collets to hold 32 armatures. These collets are machine tool grade to ensure that the armatures are held firmly for accurate positioning. In its standard configuration, the machine has one trickle station with dual applicator tubes positional along the armature axis.

Operation: During a typical machine cycle, a door automatically opens when the machine is ready to be loaded. The armature then goes into the Preheat Oven, which raises the temperature of the part for proper resin application. This temperature may be displayed in either celsius or fahrenheit.

Post Preheating: After preheating, the temperature of each armature is automatically measured. If the part is not at the correct temperature, no coating is applied. This operation also senses if no part is present. In either case, the machine remembers the location of the empty or bad part and turns on a reject part light when that part is ready to be unloaded.

Trickle Completion: After the part is trickled, it indexes to the Cure Oven where the coating hardens. The temperature of this oven is controlled independently from the Preheat Oven. Armatures are rotated during the preheat, trickle and cure operations to ensure an even distribution of the resin or coating.
